"I can’t believe it’s almost December.” I’ve already heard that phrase twice this year. Weird thing is, the first time was in August. Once we get this close to the end of a year, I often wonder if people have read anything I’ve written. And if they have, I wonder if they were paying attention.

"I can’t believe it’s almost December.” I’ve already heard that phrase twice this year. Weird thing is, the first time was in August.

Once we get this close to the end of a year, I often wonder if people have read anything I’ve written. And if they have, I wonder if they were paying attention.

I know I wasn’t.

As a test, I compiled a quiz.

Sometimes, as December approaches, I like to reach into the archives out of pure laziness. But that’s like frozen orange juice.

Then again, frozen orange juice isn’t bad, once you mix it with water. So for the best of both worlds, here’s a quiz about my columns from 2009. This way, none of us have to pay attention this week.

Scoring: If you read this far, you get an A. If you didn’t, you weren’t paying attention.

I can’t believe it’s almost August.
